Since our first days holding youth events at a church in Stockport, The Message has grown and today we’re working with young people across the UK and the globe, but we still call Manchester our home.
To ensure that our home city is ‘kept hot’, we launched our North West hub in 2019 with a team focused solely on making mission happen across Greater Manchester and the rest of the North West. From Eden and bands going into schools to Respect ME and Genetik Sessions, there’s already so much happening here, but we don’t want to stop there.
We want young people to have repeated opportunities to hear the gospel and be able to respond to it for themselves. Find out more about what we’re up to and how you can connect with us below.
LIFT
Off the back of a Wellbeing and Resilience schools tour, we’re hosting another incredible LIFT event on 22 March 2024 in Wythenshawe Forum, Manchester. Hundreds of young people will come along for music from Vonte Grace and NXT CHAPTR as well as hear the message of Jesus. Get your young people involved today at message.org.uk/event/liftmanchester
